ANN ARBOR -- The Michigan basketball program released all time and television information for its 2012-13 schedule Wednesday.

The Wolverines will play on the ESPN family of networks at least 12 times this season, and will also have at least two games air nationally on CBS.

Michigan's two guaranteed games on CBS will be a Dec. 8 home game against Arkansas (12 p.m.) and a Jan. 13 contest at Ohio State (1:30 or 4:30 p.m.).

The Wolverines have the chance to play on CBS three more times late in the season, as home games against Illinois, Michigan State and Indiana are all ESPN/CBS/Big Ten Network wild card games.

For the second straight season, Michigan will be featured on ESPN's College Basketball GameDay show, this time on the road at Indiana (9 p.m.) on Feb. 2.

The Wolverines will also be featured on ESPN's Super Tuesday (9 p.m.) twice. On Feb. 5 vs. Ohio State and again on Feb. 12 at Michigan State.

In total, 29 of Michigan's 30 games will air on a national television network (ESPN/CBS/BTN), with the season-opener against Slippery Rock being the lone exception -- as that game will air exclusively on BTN.com.
